Best Video Camera: Blackmagic Pocket Cinema

5 of 7

Consider yourself an auteur? Frame your shots with the Pocket Cinema. This digital resurrection of the Super 16 film camera (its sensor display is equivalent in size to 16mm film) offers the highest-quality video of nearly any available device. Beyond capturing in 1080p and mounting affordable Micro Four Thirds lenses, it shoots in both ProRes and Raw formats. Translation: Every cam shoots video; this one shoots movies.
